So, I keep asking this question and I never get a conclusive answer.

Iscosceles or scalene?

NO equilateral.

Nast

No equilateral? But I prefer acute little triangle.

HOLY LIVING FUCK I DISAGREE

WHAT ABOUT THE TRIFORCE? EQUILATERAL FOR THE WIN. SCALENE IS LIKE THE ZIMA OF TRIANGLES. ISOSCELES? PLEASE. PLEASE PUT ONE IN YOUR MOUTH AND PULL THE TRIG.

Equilateral > All

If you disagree you are a steaming pile of shit.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I SAID NO EQUILATERAL.

Too easy.

People find the stability of the equilateral triangle comforting in these times of uncertainty, so it's hardly surprising.

I find this thread to be quite obtuse.

Ok so you want to know isosceles or scalene, given that someone else already took equilateral?

Well in that case there are two options, in order of preference:

1) fight the other guy to the death over equilateral

2) failing that, I'd pick the 3,4,5 scalene. Cause of the right angle and the rational ratios.

I agree with this.  Give me the right triangle.  I SAID GIVE ME THE RIGHT TRIANGLE, GODDAMNIT

Quote from: Buckminster FullerTriangles cannot be structured in planes. They are always positive or negative helixes. You may say that we had no right to break the triangles open in order to add them together, but the triangles were in fact never closed because no line can ever come completely back into itself. Experiment shows that two lines cannot be constructed through the same point at the same time (see Sec. 517, "Interference"). One line will be superimposed on the other. Therefore, the triangle is a spiral__a very flat spiral, but open at the recycling point.
